       RIP Ask Jeeves. The natural-language search engine founded in 1996 was rebranded as Ask in 2006, and officially shut down on May 1.Here are the Wayback Machine’s first and last captures of the site.When websites disappear, the historical record can disappear with them. The #WaybackMachine preserves that history – capturing the web so its past remains accessible.Explore 30 years of web history: https://web.archive.org#90s #90sNostalgia #WebHistory #WebDesign

       @internetarchive I knew it existed but never used it. Same goes for Yahoo. 🤷

       @internetarchive @ramsey  technically ask jeeves was not a real natural language search engine.source: i was one of the people paid to answer questions for them back in the day. it was a lot of fun. technically probably my first job but their accountant probably will not want to admit to writing cheques to minors.

       @internetarchive TIL Dogpile still exists, and has a browser, but no longer features a big pile of poo.Edit: I swear they had their dog in front of a heap of poo, but I cannot see this on wayback.

       @internetarchive The butler has quietly left the room — but the conversation carries on.

       @internetarchive I guess the dot-com bubble had one final, delayed pop.

       @internetarchive Farewell, Ask Jeeves. You’ve been a good and faithful servant.

       @internetarchive The rebranding to ask.com was probably major error. I only learned yesterday that ask.com was the successor of Ask Jeeves.

       @internetarchiveGoogle needs to die & we could be observing signs that they're doing it themselves…Looking for images of my mouse yesterday, all were from sponsored video/ review, store pages like tiktok shop, eBay, big box retailers, or the manufacturer themselves. Not a single image was indexed from community forum, micro blog, sns, repair page... absolutely nothing. Meaning everything was advertising:https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=logitech+m340+pinkWho would use search that's just an advertisement in disguise?
